Meghan Markle was a vision as she joined her friends to celebrate exciting baby news, donning an all-pink ensemble for the sweet event.
The Duchess wore a stunning Posse dress for her friend Samantha Stone's baby shower, evidently matching the all-pink theme at the party.
Meghan was seen laughing alongside Samantha in a picture posted by her close friend, Kelly McKee Zafjen, looking happier than ever alongside her pals.
Samantha, the expectant mother, also happens to be the Chief Membership Officer at the exclusive Soho House in Los Angeles. She donned a pink silk dress with a plunging neckline for her baby shower and wore her blonde hair down to her shoulder in soft waves.
Kelly wrote a sweet caption for her friend, celebrating Samantha's baby joy after the event. "I love a theme. Wear Pink she said! Celebrating our sweet baby girl coming oh so soon!" Kelly wrote. "Adore you @samanthamstone and can't wait to meet baby Stone. She's a lucky little girl to have a mama like you. Love, Auntie Kelly."

Meghan is not the only A-lister Samantha counts as a good friend; It Ends With Us star Blake Lively is also close to her, and she even posted a hilarious birthday tribute to the Soho House exec in November.
"Find you a girl who spends New Years with you while you're snotty and have a cold but she won't let you miss the fun so she brings it to you," she captioned the photo, which saw Samantha caring for an ill Blake. "Always. Because that's who she is. Fun. Kindness. Goodness."

Meghan's glowing appearance at Samantha's event comes just days after fans caught a glimpse of a sweet moment between Harry and Meghan on his new Netflix show, Polo, which the pair executive produced together.
After Harry's success at the Sentebale Polo Challenge earlier in 2024, the happy couple were seen sharing an affectionate kiss. Meghan also brought her close friend, tennis legend Serena Williams, to watch the polo event.

"They were wonderful," Miloš gushed. "They were extremely hands-on. They really had a vision for trying to get polo to be accessible to a wider audience."
"I think I spoke to them before I ever went to a polo match, and it was [Meghan] who really prepped me for how wonderfully casual polo can be."

"This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world's elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamour," Harry said.
"We're proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments."
